Narrative: Different Concepts and Configurations
Karamjit Kaur
Abstract: Narrative is the primary carrier of communication of ideas. It is a method of expressing and understanding individual or group experiences from the earliest stages of human civilization, which is one of the basic tenets of human existence. Ever since a human being has learned to communicate his feelings, the narration is considered to have started. "The history of narrative begins with the history of humanity. To date, there has been no culture that does not have a narrative." [1] Narrative is involved in every human phenomenon in one form or another. Roland Barthes writes of its ubiquity: "The narrative is international, prehistoric, and multicultural. It is as vast as life itself." [2] Where human beings have the ability to remember events, there is also the danger of forgetting a lot. From this perspective, Paul Cobley writes, highlighting the importance of narrative, that without narration, human history would sink into the obscurity of forgetfulness, where everything becomes equal.
